Chapter 416: The Difference Between Dim Sum Master and Master Chef
When Qin Huai and Zhao Chengan followed Master Zhou, they had a feeling that they were interns following the attending physician in a medical drama, wearing white coats and holding medical records, knowing nothing, but being able to follow this team to borrow the fox's power.
Everywhere the gaze falls, there are the respectful eyes of patients (apprentices). After eye contact, the other party's first reaction is to look away, then hand over the inspection sheet (dim sum), while the attending physician mainly inspects, and the interns follow behind to pick up some knowledge, listening to the attending physician's diagnosis results.
When Qin Huai stood behind the attending physician eating dim sum, he felt that he probably watched too many TV dramas and went crazy.
Strange, he didn't watch much TV drama either.
Well, actually, he still watched a little bit.
"What is this? Could it be the legendary egg intestine powder? Such egg intestine powder can appear in the back kitchen of Zhi Wei Ju, which can be considered as making the place shine. This intestine powder skin is thick enough to be covered as a quilt, how do I feel that the low-temperature area is too cold and there is no quilt, so I made some and wanted to send it over?"
"Whose mung bean cake is this? I have heard of Beijing-style, Yunnan-style, Su-style, Yang-style, this is the first time I have seen this kind of variety. What style is this? Sweet-style? Sugar doesn't need money? Or did your hand shake when adding sugar and the sugar jar was spilled inside?"
"Did our Zhi Wei Ju receive any hospital orders? Dim sum specifically for patients with hypoglycemia, mung bean cake made so sweet. Did you take money from any of my enemies? Heard that my blood sugar has been a bit high recently, so you specifically made this batch of mung bean cake to make my blood sugar even higher."
"Yo, what is this? Brown sugar steamed bun? Now life is really getting better, starting to popularize recalling bitterness and thinking about sweetness. I really didn't expect that one day eating white flour steamed bun could eat the taste of nest head."
"This is..."
Accompanied by Master Zhou's language becoming more and more sharp, from pure sarcasm to attack on dim sum, Qin Huai stood behind and could see that Master Zhou's anger value was gradually accumulating, and it was only one step away from the volcano eruption.
Qin Huai was so scared that he hurriedly retreated two steps to open the distance, so as not to be swept by Master Zhou's indiscriminate AOE attack on everyone.
Zhao Chengan was very experienced and didn't move, continuing to eat the dim sum he wanted to eat.
Qin Huai was also gnawing on dim sum, gnawing on that plate of cloyingly sweet mung bean cake. Don't say, Zhi Wei Ju has many apprentices who are apprentices, and even the qualifications to make dim sum for sale are not available for a reason.
This kind of dim sum, if it can be put on the shelves for sale, it really smashes the signboard. Master Zhou's mouth is a bit poisonous but his words are not rough, this mung bean cake is so sweet that it is like a special supply for hypoglycemic patients. One bite down, the calories are so high that it can make people run 2 kilometers on the spot.
Compared with these apprentices, Su Gan's craftsmanship is absolutely first-class, nothing to say.
"Zhao... Zhao Mas..."
"Just call me by name, didn't Master say, we are peers, no need to call me Master Zhao." Zhao Chengan said with a smile.
"Zhao Chengan." Qin Huai said smoothly. He is not very used to calling people by their full names for people he is not very familiar with. "I have a question I want to ask you."
"Say."
"You said Master Zhou only points out apprentices when he is in a good mood. Why do I feel that Master Zhou feels Su Gan's craftsmanship is not good, and when he particularly wants to scold people, he comes out to find some stimulation, looks at the craftsmanship of ordinary apprentices, comforts himself, and then can go back to continue teaching Su Gan to make dim sum." Qin Huai whispered his guess.
Zhao Chengan was so shocked that his eyes widened, and he looked at Qin Huai a few times, his eyes full of praise and surprise.
"You kid can." Zhao Chengan lowered his voice, "You even discovered this, I feel that my senior brother and senior sister might not be clear, I actually think so too, but I don't dare to ask at all."
Qin Huai continued to gnaw on mung bean cake. Although this mung bean cake is a bit too sweet, Qin Huai felt that it was barely acceptable, and it was the dim sum made by this group of apprentices that he could accept the most.
This mung bean cake only has the problem of being too sweet, other dim sum might only have one place that is not problematic.
Following Master Zhou to eat all the way down, Qin Huai deeply understood Boss Su's painstaking efforts. The few apprentices Boss Su sent to Huang Ji before, and the batch of apprentices sent to the Cloud Middle Canteen later, were indeed excellent apprentices and elite apprentices.
Ordinary apprentices are indeed too ordinary.
"Does Zhi Wei Ju have no standards for recruiting apprentices?" Qin Huai asked soulfully.
"There might have been in the early years, but it has been relaxed a lot in recent years." Zhao Chengan explained, "Mainly because it is not easy to recruit apprentices in recent years. You know, learning to cook is very hard, and the age of apprentices usually cannot be too old, the younger the better."
"It's not like the year, this year, chefs who really learn to cook from childhood to lay a foundation are basically from cooking families, that is, Tan Weian's type. My type can be considered a freak. When I was studying, it was popular to throw children into places like Zhi Wei Ju to suffer when they didn't study well. Now there are other ways to suffer."
"Fewer people are willing to learn to cook, good seedlings are naturally few, and the standards for recruiting apprentices have also been lowered a lot. Basically, those with some foundation, willing to endure hardship, and able to pass the basic audit can enter Zhi Wei Ju as apprentices. The conditions are too poor, and they will be eliminated soon. Both entering and eliminating are very fast."
"So it is difficult to take apprentices now. I don't know if Tan Weian has told you about my glorious record. Like my type of wild disciple with natural talent, Zhi Wei Ju hasn't appeared for more than 10 years. Now, as long as a good seedling appears, several master chefs have to break their heads to snatch it. Fortunately, I haven't reached the age of taking apprentices, I haven't practiced much in these years and can't beat anyone."
Qin Huai:...? Is your Zhi Wei Ju snatching apprentices in the physical sense?
Qin Huai and Zhao Chengan followed behind Master Zhou to continue eating down, and started to eat some dim sum with quite good taste later.
Qin Huai can be considered to have discovered that Master Zhou has an order for pointing out apprentices. He will start from the worst, because his patience is best at the beginning, and he won't explode directly when facing such particularly bad ones. And this process of getting better and better as he points out can well exercise his mentality. In a sense, Master Zhou pointing out apprentices is also cultivating the heart.
Qin Huai can only compile Master Zhou's behavior here.
The next few days were basically spent like this.
Qin Huai arrived at Zhi Wei Ju at 9 AM every day for breakfast, watching Master Zhou scold Su Gan while eating breakfast, and there were new ways of scolding every day.
Then hold a morning meeting, listen to gossip and watch the master chefs sniper each other, and by the way, eat lunch.
After eating lunch, Qin Huai can start patrolling and eating in the back kitchen after Master Zhou finishes pointing out Su Gan. Even if Zhao Chengan told Qin Huai that Master Zhou rarely points out ordinary apprentices, it would be good to have it once a month.
But since Qin Huai came to Zhi Wei Ju, basically every day at this time point, Master Zhou would start pointing out all ordinary apprentices, scolding them one by one, refining his language and mentality, which is cultivating the heart.
The afternoon time period is usually relatively free. Master Zhou will make some dim sum he wants to make in his spare time of pointing out apprentices, such as egg tarts and mango mille-feuille.
This time period is also Qin Huai's happiest time period. He can not only watch Master Zhou make dim sum, but also eat immediately after the dim sum is made. Basically, he can achieve egg tart freedom. Qin Huai eats first, and the remaining egg tarts after Qin Huai eats are taken out for sale.
And Qin Huai himself can be said to be completely not making dim sum, purely watching, purely eating. Every day when he opens his eyes, he is eating, and he basically doesn't stop from morning to night. Occasionally when his mouth has a rest, he has to help Zhou Yan taste her white jade fresh shrimp roll, making Qin Huai a bit want to ask for leave.
Not for anything else, just to give his stomach a day off, let it digest a little less.
Day after day, eating like this is really unbearable.
Of course, in addition to eating dim sum, Qin Huai also ate a lot of gossip. He actually spent most of his time in a day watching Zhao Chengan and them make dim sum.
Zhao Chengan and the three are all very mature dim sum masters. Wang Jiayi is a well-deserved master chef, and his strength goes without saying. Zhou Yan can independently research new dim sum, and her strength is naturally placed there.
Even Zhao Chengan, who is suspected of being a wounded Zhongyong among the three, the dim sum he made can be said to be impeccable. Qin Huai feels that his dim sum can be stably at B-level, and it is a bit short of A-level. Even the pastry-opening dim sum that Zhao Chengan is best at has not been able to reach A-level.
But this is already very outstanding. Qin Huai feels that Zhao Chengan is only a little bit short of personal style to make A-level dim sum. ===== CHAPTER 417 =====
